The
NatureCenter is located at
RobertMosesState Park in
Massena,
N.Y., which borders
Canada along
the
St. Lawrence River. The park is
one of 28 in the 1000 Island State Park Region and consists of
more than 2300 acres. Besides the
NatureCenter,
there is also a beach, marina, picnic area, campgrounds and
cabins with nature trails that meander through old growth
forests, meadows, wetlands and river habitats. The park is
uniquely located between the Robert Moses Power Dam and the
St. Lawrence Seaways
Eisenhower Lock.

The
NatureCenter
provides visitors of all ages with an opportunity to
learn more about the science and
history of animal and plant life that make up the surrounding
environment. The museum is filled with live exhibits, mounts,
aquaria, a touch room, giftcase
and classroom. The building also houses a large room with indoor
picnic tables and a circular fireplace. Gardens, a garden pond
and picnic tables grace the main entrance.

Animal
care and building maintenance are supported through the support
and generosity of the Friends of the Nature Center and minimal
program fees. Fundraising and memberships have allowed the
NatureCenter to
purchase greatly needed items, such as more than 20 pair of
snowshoes and interpretive signs for the trails. Please join us
and become a member of the Friends of the
NatureCenter.
